I was hit, rear-ended, very hard and the airbag definitely should have deployed. I was making a left turn, stopped for at least 10 seconds waiting for traffic to clear and a car slammed into the back of me with no attempt to hit their brakes

On 10-12-04 my daughter was involved in an accident, where she had failed to stop quick enough at a red light. There where three cars ahead of her at the red light. She was going approx. 10 miles per hour and hit the car in front of her which lead a chain reaction involving the other two cars. The air bags deployed and she lost control of the car. She was rushed to the hospital via ambulance. She was treated and released. There was not damage to her car and little damage to the the others cars. The police at the scene questioned why the air bags deployed at such a low speed. My concern and question are the same. Why would the air bags deploy at such a low speed and perhaps cause more trauma and injury. The insurance companies will be investigating this as well.
